Forbes Faces Backlash For Leaving Women Off Innovators List | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC

  1. White men the pinnacle of creativity, innovation, and change? Is this a joke? Instead of the many people of all backgrounds fixing the problems caused by this exact kind of kleptocracy? Wow. No comment.

    1. They didn’t even give her a picture. They put a silhouette of an unidentified male as her picture, and she was put at #75.

  2. You can’t and shouldn’t blame Forbes for making a list that contains only 1 female. I see people complaining that Forbes should out more women on the list when the problem goes far beyond “a list”.

  3. Maybe one day we can stop complaining about things pertaining to gender and stop having self-victimizing complexes where we believe we are being excluded because of our gender. It’s a list. By Forbes. It means nothing regardless of how many women are on it. Get over it and accept that it’s not about you and stop believing this sexist garbage. Just perpetuating the war of the genders.

  4. Swaziland: Witches banned from flying above 150m | Metro News………Swaziland bans witches from flying above 150metres on broomsticks. Anyone caught flying their broomstick above the height limit faces arrest and a hefty R500,000 fine, the country’s civil aviation authorities said this week. ‘A witch on a broomstick should not fly above the [150-metre] limit,’ corporate affairs director Sabelo Dlamini told The Star.

  5. Wasn’t the list top 100 innovators? Not top 100 climbing-ladders-against-odds… Thst doesn’t detract from their own merits of their challenge, but I don’t see what that has to do with the merits of innovation in this particular context.

    Its kinda like engineering. If you did it 99% superbly but got a couple of designators wrong, the bridge is now upside down. No partial credit for rising to the challenge ans getting your degree despite struggling with dyslexia. The given task was engineering the bridge, bridge is still upside down.

    1. This particular context is beast system teleprompter antitrump narrative with fabricated lies and malicious intent.

  6. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:6-8) Wake up. Media, propoganda, and its politics wont save your souls people. Time is running out fast. Turn to the ONLY one who loved you enough to die for you!!!

  7. Sycophantic Trump supporters have been trying to back up their feeble arguments lately by citing Forbes articles, too.

    Not only are they THE, “village voice,” of the Social Aristocratical white elites, the publication’s entire editorial methodology is skewed, towards a more misogynistic and xenophobic bent.

  8. I don’t know if Forbes did anything wrong, all they did was compile data, and let it determine the list.
    I don’t think the data from this list could prove or disprove that America has an issue with female leaders, but it definitely shows the lack of female innovative leadership, whatever the reason may be, I’m only guessing, but I’m betting they don’t get much room to innovate.

    I am interested to learn more about Barbara Rentler now, though.

  9. The problem is that 5% of CEOs are women. So, at least there should be 5 women in the list or more. But I don´t think a good argument is to try to force the list. My proposal would be to make two lists, one for men and one for women.

  10. Let this be a lesson to all of you at Forbes: From now on skip these lists. They really don’t mean anything, and with the insanity of political correctness you are damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

  11. What`s the problem. Innovation is not measured by sexe. Sexe is irrelevant. Don`t make something relevant now that is infact irrelevant.

  12. Fake news, MSNBC! No one should believe this corrupted bought for fake media! One of very few things Trump is right about is calling you out Fake News! WhoIs JohnYang is trending on Twitter! Fake journalism! Corrupted fake progressive, MSNBC belongs to graveyard! Yang2020.com, google Andrew Yang!
